The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle W-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular cashel (c. 35m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall. Modern field walls overlie the enclosing element at E and S, and massive boulders, resulting from field clearance, obscure it at S. The interior is heavily overgrown.
